About An Scoil Chois Claí

An Scoil Chois Claí came about some years ago when a group of people who wanted to learn Irish and a couple of teachers who wanted to teach Irish came together, but we were homeless, hence the name. First meetings were in a diner but shortly thereafter the group was rescued from homelessness by Muiris Bric and The Kerry Association and given a roof in their lovely headquarters in Yonkers NY. A year later Brother Charles Quinn of Iona Collage, New Rochelle NY helped arrange shelter for the group on the Iona college campus which is where we have been located ever since, offering continuing education classes in four levels of Irish, in the La Penta building. We also have a celebration of the Irish Language every Spring in our Lá na Gaeilge, Irish Language Day, whichis usually held in April.
Brother Quinn sadly passed away in February, 2007, but we will always appreciate his assistance and his lifelong dedication to the Irish Language.
